It was hard for me to enjoy this book because the POV character was so unsympathetic but in a pathetic way rather than a fun way. The pandemic felt poorly integrated and the ending did not feel earned. There were some really nice passages (and the bits about palliative care work were really good) but I can't recommend this.
